I just tried again, and got the same results. Answers to your questions: no, I cannot browse internet normally. I ping the other side of ppp connection (Access server at ISP). It's IP address is first in traceroute output from modem connection, and also could be learned from output of 'ip address ls ppp0' or 'ifconfig ppp0' - it is peer ip address. Following are ping results I got this time. As you see, pings start ok, then for 30 secs there seems to be no answer to pings but then suddenly packets arrive, with big (and decreasing delays), then everything repeats from the beginning. No packets are lost. It seems as if some buffering is occuring inside of the drivers..
